This guy Ryan Bowen here is an anomaly. Not only is he remarkably ingenious and impressively adroit at building high-quality Halloween costumes from cardboard, but he has an amazing amount of free time for a father of a six-month-old kid:

Seriously, how does a new dad find the time and energy to craft a professional-looking MechWarriorsuit for himself and his son? Do you have any idea how many times he had to stop hot-gluing, or whatever, to pick up the plastic block dropped on the floor and was suddenly screaming about? Honestly, I don't even know how he finds the time to play the video game MechWarrior, let alone build one of its robots.

Poor kid is going to grow up with unrealistic Halloween expectations.(via)

Do you know what my five-month-old son is for Halloween this year? A baby with a pumpkin hat on his head. It was either that or a pile of laundry that mom and dad haven't gotten to yet, but that seemed like too much work.
